"Its not about the Bike, My Journey back to Life" is a long and awkward title. But Lance Armstrong's writes about so many life changing experiences, such as being a cancer survivor, not growing up with a father and winning the Tour DE France 5 times. The words of wisdom inside this book makes the title a blip on the radar screen. Some people write books about surviving cancer. Some write about living without a father. And some write about winning a bike race. Lance Armstrong gives us a story with all of these elements in it, all about one person and one life (himself). Also, he did not just win a bike race. He won the most grueling and prestigious bicycle race in the world 5 times. Using all of these elements; Lance Armstrong produces one of the best autobiographies I have ever read.

Why is he such a success?

Once you hit the last 100 pages, you can't put in down because you just need to know what happens. For example, when Rachel Sexton and her expert team of scientist plunge themselves into the arctic to uncover a rare artifact for the president. They are ambushed by assassins. A twist that almost no one could predict.

The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown is one of the best mystery books ever written. Its Description, its Characters and the sheer brilliance of the story line makes it this good. What could be better than a mystery story that involves the famous Mona Lisa, painted by the most famous artist of all time Leonardo DaVinci. Brown catches your attention right away with a disterbing yet intriguing first scene in the world renown Louvre museum in Paris. Brown does an amazing job of leading you to believe one thing, then throw a curve ball in the book that changes the story hugly. It keeps you thinking and wondering just like a great mystery should.
